xmr-btc-swap development and improvement

Proposal:

Improvements and bug fixes to the project xmr-btc-swap. I'm asking for funding for developing new features and bug fixes for the tool. The funding would go to 3 month of continuous development for a total of 65 XMR. The work would be divided in 25 hours of development a week at an hourly rate of 65€ at current price of 122€/XMR. Payment should be delivered on the accomplishment of the different milestones.

Who:

I'm Leo Escuer (@lescuer97 on github) a privacy enthusiast and all around good guy ;). I heard of the protocol when it was on the early stages of development and I found it fascinating and actually traded on it. When the COMIT team sent out a notice looking for maintainers I took the call so me along with 2 guys (BinaryBaron and delta1). I started making commit and doing bug fixes getting to know the project pretty decently. I have a great interest in Monero and Rust so I would love to keep working in this project and see it mature.

What:

• important bug fixes:

  1. Timelocks not being detected
  2. errors in deserilization
  3. CLI doesn't refund after Alice locks her Monero (This need more research as it might not be fixable. )

• New features

  1. Merging the cancel and refund commands: This commands right now are separate and should be combined for a better experience.
  2. Withdraw XMR command for the ASB: right now the only way to withdraw is by connecting to the wallet directly but there should be a way to do it directly from the app.

• Support development (3 months period)

  1. Attend to issue creation and questions.
  2. Make more and better testing where ever posible.
  3. Miscellaneous dependency updates

• Docker container for the ASB

  • the monero-wallet-rpc
  • tor daemon
  • the ASB App

Will provide the necessary updates if funded in the CSS comments.
